Defending Against Drug Charges in Phoenix

Federal and state drug laws make it illegal to possess or distribute controlled
substances in Phoenix such as
marijuana, methamphetamine, cocaine, LSD, and heroin. These laws make it illegal
to possess any chemicals used to cultivate and manufacture drugs as well
as certain accessories related to drug use.
Drug possession laws vary from state to state and according to drug type and amount. Possession
of small amounts can be considered “simple” possession, while
possession of larger quantities can result in a charge of “possession
with intent to distribute.”

Federal drug statues classify controlled substances according to “schedules.”
The Attorney General has the authority to delete or add substances and
the drugs located on the schedules are referred to as “Controlled
Dangerous Substances.”

Phoenix Drug Offenses: Drug Possession Charges & Punishment

Punishment for drug crimes depends on the following:

The Quantity of the Drug

The Drugs Classification under the Schedules

The Purpose of the Drugs Possession

It has been Mr. Davidson's experience that the most serious drug crimes
are producing illegal drugs, manufacturing drugs, and selling drugs. In
most states, possession of drugs for personal use is considered to be
a serious crime, but in other states possession for personal use is punished
less severely than distribution crimes are. Possession of drugs with the
intent to distribute them is a serious crime, and prosecutors can try
to prove your intent to distribute simply by showing the quantity of the
drug you possessed, regardless of whether or not you actually distributed the drug.

In Arizona, drug offenses can result in mandatory prison time and the sentences
surrounding drug offenses are increasing in severity. If you’ve
been charged with felony drug possession, trafficking, or narcotics sales
you can face heavy fines and lengthy prison sentences if convicted. As
